Enhance your onboard communications with the Raymarine Active Speaker designed specifically for Ray90 and Ray91 VHF radios. In the demanding marine environment, where engine roar, wind, and waves create constant background noise, staying connected clearly can make all the difference. This amplified speaker kit steps up to the challenge, delivering powerful, distortion-free sound that cuts through the chaos. Whether you’re maneuvering a speedy powerboat, commanding from a breezy flybridge, or monitoring channels from below deck, its built-in amplifier and premium speaker ensure every transmission is audible and intelligible.
Engineered for Marine Toughness
Crafted with boaters in mind, this speaker boasts a compact, rugged housing that’s fully waterproof and built to withstand harsh saltwater exposure, vibrations, and impacts. Its 5-watt output paired with 8-ohm impedance provides robust performance without overwhelming your VHF setup. The included 6.6-foot cable offers flexible routing, connecting seamlessly to the nearest wireless handset base on your Ray90 or Ray91—no extra adapters needed. Available in sleek black, it blends into any console or cabin aesthetic.
Versatile Installation Options
Surface mounting makes setup straightforward. Secure it vertically on a bulkhead for optimal projection in tight spaces or horizontally overhead to save deck real estate. The onboard volume control lets you dial in the perfect level on the fly, adapting to varying noise conditions without fiddling with your radio settings. Ideal for installations where space is at a premium, yet audio clarity can’t be compromised.
